johns go home

San Francisco Chronicle, June 12, 1979

A short parade of indignant West Oakland residents marched down
San Pablo avenue last night in an attempt to roust the prostitutes
out of their neighborhood.

"We are the victims of prostitution." Their picket signs
proclaimed. The group of 5, including a Catholic priest, Deacon and
several elderly neighborhood residents, surrounded a lone young
women leaning against a signpost.

"We shall overcome", they hummed.

"Fuck 'em" the alleged hooker muttered, she munched from a bag
of cheetos.

"They got a mother fucking job and I got my own job." She
added.

The protestors sponsored by the activist Oakland community
organization, rallied at St. Andrews Catholic Church. Parishioner
Dorothy Alexander's eyes filled with fire as she pointed to bushes
in front of the church.
